Criterion reduced to 16 people as studio splinters into Ghost Games UK

Majority of Criterion now Ghost Games UK.

Criterion has been reduced to a team of just 16 people, creative director Alex Ward has revealed, with the 60-65 Criterion staff currently working on Need For Speed: Rivals now working under the umbrella of Ghost Games.

In aseriesoftweets, Ward explained that Criterion is "a small team now", with the majority of the studio forming part of a team called Ghost Games UK.

The team remaining at Criterion is thought to now be known as 'Criterion Zero'.
